9 For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, (A)like men sentenced to death, because we (B)have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. 10 (C)We are fools for Christ's sake, but (D)you are wise in Christ. (E)We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. 11 To the present hour (F)we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and (G)buffeted and (H)homeless, 12 and we (I)labor, working with our own hands. (J)When reviled, we bless; (K)when persecuted, we endure; 13 when slandered, we entreat. (L)We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, (M)the refuse of all things.

9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die(A) in the arena.

We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage(J) of the world—right up to this moment.
